There are only so many ways to make a laptop, right? Screen on one half, keyboard on the other, hinge in the middle. That’s the way it’s been going for decades, save for the occasional experiment. But Lenovo likes to mix things up, and at Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, it’s doing just that with super-tall screens, double screens, triple screens… They’re all on display, but most won’t make it to market. The ThinkBook “Codename Flip” highlights the company’s portfolio. It looks a little goofy in still images, but think of it as a fusion between a folding phone and a laptop and you’re pretty much there. The super-tall, 18.1-inch OLED touchscreen display is essentially two screens stacked on top of one another, with a hinge in the middle that lets the screen fold backwards. The “rear” screen, which is essentially just the top half of the same plastic display, can be used to present to other users without needing a secondary monitor. Lenovo The rest of the laptop is fairly conventional, though if you look closely you can see that a kickstand deploys on the rear side for a little extra stability in that super-tall vertical orientation. Lenovo also added some integrated haptic buttons with light-up indicators to the touchpad, a design element we’ve seen on some Asus and Dell laptops before. Though the ThinkBook Plus laptop line has been where Lenovo sometimes brings outlandish designs to the retail market, there’s no indication that Codename Flip will actually be sold anytime soon. With a vulnerable folding screen exposed on top when the laptop is closed, I can’t imagine it ever will. What if you want that extra screen real estate to be horizontal? Enter the Magic Bay Dual Display Concept. This add-on for the (real) ThinkBook 16P gives the laptop two extra 13-inch screens, deploying to the left and right on hinges. The device connects to Lenovo’s proprietary Magic Bay expansion port… which is pretty much the only way it varies from existing designs that you’ve been able to buy on Amazon for years. It’s a slick-looking presentation, but once again, this is only a concept. Lenovo Some less-outlandish variations on the extra screen design were also on display at MWC 2025, including the Tiko and Tiko Pro, which add a cute little circular screen to the top of the laptop or a very stretched-out horizontal one, respectively. These designs were positioned as permanent spots for AI-powered extras, though I think one promo image showing a live transcription of a meeting might be more useful. That said, there’s nothing on display (sorry) in these concepts that can’t be done with a regular application running on your laptop’s main window. Lenovo also showed off a glasses-free 3D laptop display. But once again, it’s purely a concept, which seems underwhelming to me since those devices already exist on retail shelves, albeit in very limited numbers. Lenovo What about real, non-concept designs that you might actually be able to buy? Most of what Lenovo had to share at the trade show are variations on existing ThinkPad and ThinkBook laptops, all getting new chips and gently redesigned chassis for release later this year. The lone exception is the ThinkPad T14s 2-in-1, the first convertible design to be given the moniker of Lenovo’s most venerated workhorse laptop. The 2-in-1 is based on an Intel Core 200H/U series platform, with a 14-inch 1920×1200 LCD screen, up to 64GB of RAM (soldered in place, sadly) and up to a terabyte of speedy PCIe Gen5 storage. Lenovo The T14s 2-in-1 chassis is a mix of magnesium and aluminum parts, with double USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A, HDMI, and Ethernet ports, plus an optional SIM card slot if you go for the optional cellular connection. Other goodies include an IR camera, a physical privacy shutter, and a fingerprint reader. That’s a lot of connectivity options for a 2-in-1 design, but business travelers will appreciate it. They might think a little less of the 3.08-pound (1.4 kilograms) weight class or 19.21mm thickness, especially with a middle-of-the-road 58 watt-hour battery. The ThinkPad T14s 2-in-1 will be available starting in June for €1,649 before VAT. That’s about $1,730 USD, though I wouldn’t nail that down in terms of US price since we’re in the middle of a trade war that’s driving up expenses across the board. Read...

At a glanceExpert`s Rating Pros Robust, sturdy hardware Fast performance Cool dual-screen form factor Includes stylus and removable Bluetooth keyboard Cons High price Half a pound too heavy Middling battery life Some confusing software quirks Our Verdict The second-generation Asus Zenbook Duo offers unparalleled multitasking prowess with its dual-screen configuration, but it’s hefty and expensive. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Laptops are infinitely more portable than a desktop system, but you have to sacrifice a lot of computational might for a computer that slips in your bag. The Asus Zenbook Duo gives you some of that power back with a second built-in display under the keyboard. And behind that second screen is some of the best hardware you’ll find in a 2025 laptop. With double the screen real estate of most laptops, this machine can help you get more done on the go, and the design is surprisingly well-thought-out. However, it’s still a heavy, expensive laptop that you should only consider if you demand the most from your PC experience, even on the road. Asus Zenbook Duo: Specs and features This is the second-generation version of the Asus dual-screen Zenbook. The original Zenbook Duo shipped with Intel Meteor Lake processors, but the machine has now been updated with the latest Lunar Lake chips. The model I’ve been testing has two identical 2880×1800 OLEDs, but there is another model with 1200p OLED panels and twice the storage that will be available at Costco for the same $1,699.99. There is one cheaper model coming at a later date, featuring the 1200p OLED and a Core Ultra 7 265H instead of the Core Ultra 9 in the other SKUs. However, it’s only $100 cheaper. For my money, the model featured in this review (UX8406CA-PS99T) is the one to get. Model number: UX8406 CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285H Memory: 32GB LPDDR5X Graphics: Intel Arc 140T Display: 14-inch 2880 x 1800 OLED Storage: 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD Webcam: 1080p IR Webcam Connectivity: 2x USB-C (Thunderbolt 4, 40Gbps), 1x USB-A (5Gbps), 3.5mm audio jack, HDMI 2.1 Networking: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 Battery capacity: 75Whr, 65W charging Dimensions: 12.34 (W) x 8.58 (D) x 0.57-0.78 (H) inches Weight: 3.64 lbs (1.65 kg) MSRP as tested: $1,699.99 The 2025 Asus Zenbook Duo is an undeniably cool laptop. It’s a fast machine with two gorgeous OLED displays. Along with the clever removable keyboard, this machine offers unparalleled multitasking capabilities on the go. Asus Zenbook Duo: Design and build quality IDG / Ryan Whitwam Looking at the Zenbook Duo, you might not immediately realize it’s far from your average laptop. The aluminum-magnesium chassis is a bit chunky but not enough that it stands out. The body is robust enough that there’s very little discernible flex. Even the fan grilles on the bottom feel sturdy. The Zenbook has a bright 14-inch OLED touchscreen and what appears to be a standard laptop keyboard. However, the keyboard is held in place by magnets, making it quick to remove. Under that is a second OLED touchscreen with plenty of options for expanding your mobile computing experience. The keyboard feels solid when attached—not at all like something you can yank free with one finger. It connects to a cluster of pogo pins on the machine when attached, but it has Bluetooth to stay connected when removed. There’s also a USB-C port on the keyboard for charging (no data), as well as an on/off switch. The machine’s actual ports are on the left and right edges on the lower screen portion. There’s a full-sized HDMI and USB-C on one side, and opposite that is another USB-C, and USB-A, and the 3.5mm jack. I appreciate that the USB-C ports are split up, allowing you to attach a charger to either side. With the keyboard removed, you have several options to use the Zenbook’s dual screens. There’s a custom on-screen keyboard that can consume half or all of the lower screen, giving you a virtual trackpad to control the mouse. Alternatively, you can use handwriting input with the included Asus stylus. However, I didn’t find the handwriting input to be very accurate. Typing on the screen isn’t ideal, either, but it’s fine for tapping out a short email or social media post. If you intend to get more writing done, you should make use of the Bluetooth-enabled keyboard. There’s a 1080p webcam above the main OLED screen. It has acceptable video quality and is good at keeping you in the frame. Since this is a Copilot+ machine, it also has AI-assisted video effects. The webcam also supports IR for Windows Hello biometric login. That’s good as there’s no fingerprint sensor on this computer. Around back, the second-gen Zenbook Duo has an aluminum kickstand that can prop it up vertically, making the two screens easier to see. This “stacked” mode, combined with the wireless keyboard, was the most compelling way to use both of the Zenbook Duo’s screens in my testing. You can also turn the machine sideways to use the panels vertically. Regardless of orientation, the dual-screen setup is great for multitasking, which is usually difficult on laptops that lack screen real estate. Admittedly, the Asus Zenbook Duo isn’t the most practical machine. It’s noticeably heavier than other 14-inch laptops, and using both screens will drain your battery quickly. However, no other laptop can match its multitasking and productivity chops. Asus Zenbook Duo: Displays and speakers IDG / Ryan Whitwam Both of the 2880×1800 OLED panels on this machine look superb. The resolution offers a crystal clear image, along with the perfect blacks and vibrant colors of OLED. The brightness is excellent, clocking in at 500 nits for both panels. That’s bright enough to display HDR content (which is supported) the way it’s meant to be seen. The touch response on both screens is precise, as well. The only issue with the screens is the extremely reflective glass cover. You’ll need every bit of that high brightness to make the Zenbook Duo readable outdoors or under very bright lights. Asus brands its OLEDs as “Lumina,” which guarantees a set of capabilities and features; the screens are certified for Dolby Vision, Pantone Color, and more. Lumina screens also get Asus’ OLED Care features, which refresh and shift pixels over time to reduce image persistence and burn-in, which is a concern for any OLED that will display the same UI elements (like the Windows taskbar) day after day. I haven’t used the laptop long enough to know if these features make a difference, but it’s nice that Asus is cognizant of this potential issue. The Zenbook Duo does not double up on speakers like it does screens. You get two speakers on the bottom with Dolby Atmos support. If you’re hoping for home cinema-level Atmos audio, think again—there’s only so much you can do with down-facing laptop speakers. That said, the speakers get very loud, and audio is crisp even if it’s turned almost all the way up. The speakers are above average for a non-gaming machine.  Asus Zenbook Duo: Keyboard and trackpad IDG / Ryan Whitwam The Zenbook Duo’s keyboard feels surprisingly similar to other Asus laptops despite being a removable Bluetooth-enabled slate. There’s a small USB-C port on the left edge to recharge the board, but it also receives power from the laptop when connected. Next to the port is an on/off switch for the Bluetooth functionality. There’s very little key travel, which is expected given the thin form factor, but the bottom of each press is at least quite solid and not mushy. Unfortunately, there’s no backlight in the removable keyboard. The layout is at least pretty standard, so touch typists won’t need the LEDs. The only aspect of the layout I don’t like is the arrow cluster, which uses half-sized keys even though there’s plenty of wasted space. The trackpad is integrated with the keyboard. Like the keys, the trackpad feels surprisingly sturdy for something not permanently attached to the laptop. It’s reasonably large—bigger than the trackpad on business-oriented machines like the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. The click mechanism is quiet and consistent, and touch response has been perfect. The only issue I noticed was a bit of lag for a few seconds after switching from attached to wireless modes. Asus Zenbook Duo: Software and performance The Asus Zenbook Duo runs the same underlying Windows 11 software as every other 2025 Windows laptop. However, Asus has included a suite of tools to help you take advantage of its distinctive form factor. For example, you can instantly move windows between the screens, open and close the custom on-screen keyboard with a floating icon, and launch customizable control interfaces specific to your apps. Most of these features are accessible from the Asus ScreenXpert software. Unfortunately, these features aren’t very discoverable. There’s no tutorial when you start up the computer for the first time, and the included manual had nothing to say about the software. It’s not the smoothest software experience, but with some tinkering, you’ll be able to make the most of the dual screens. There’s also an Asus app that includes system settings and updates. This app does fire off some notifications hoping to upsell you on the premium version of the Asus GlideX cross-device software, which is also pre-installed. After silencing these pop-ups, you can ignore the Asus app until you need it. With 32GB of RAM and the top-of-the-line Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, the Zenbook Duo is a very fast laptop. I never felt like I was waiting on the machine to catch up, even when running multiple apps across both screens. While this is a Copilot+ machine, Asus didn’t go out of its way to add generative AI tools. Those have been more miss than hit on other AI PCs, so that’s no great loss. To give you a better idea of how the laptop performs, here are our standard benchmark tests. IDG / Ryan Whitwam PCMark 10 is designed to test a machine across a variety of metrics like web browsing, video chat, and photo editing to produce scores for various tasks as well as an overall score. The Asus Zenbook Duo managed a very impressive overall score of 7,261, topping the charts for Intel-powered laptops. The latest high-end chips from AMD are a few hundred points ahead, but the Core Ultra 9 is no slouch. IDG / Ryan Whitwam Cinebench is a CPU-focused test that shows how a PC handles heavy but brief multi-core workloads. More CPU cores grant higher scores in Cinebench and cooling doesn’t matter very much. Intel’s Lunar Lake chips struggle a bit more in Cinebench because they lack hyperthreading. As a result, the AMD-powered HP Omnibook Ultra 14 takes the lead. The Core Ultra 9 285H does show a substantial improvement over other Intel CPUs, though. IDG / Ryan Whitwam The Handbrake test is similar to Cinebench in that it shows how a computer handles multithreaded tasks, but this is a longer-duration test where thermals matter more. It’s the same story here, with the Ryzen 9 and its gaggle of processing threads way out in front. The Zenbook Duo is king among Intel laptops, though. IDG / Ryan Whitwam Our main gaming test is 3DMark Time Spy, a graphical benchmark that focuses on GPU performance. This isn’t a gaming laptop, but Intel’s latest iGPUs are quite good, and the Core Ultra 9 285H has the best version of Intel’s Arc graphics. The Arc 140T iGPU beats out all the other Lunar Lake variants, as well as the latest from AMD. Intel’s latest chips are good enough to play simpler modern games or premium titles that are a few years old. Asus Zenbook Duo: Battery life The 2025 Asus Zenbook Duo has a healthy 75Whr battery, slightly larger than most 14-inch laptops. However, its power demands are significant with dual OLEDs and a Core Ultra 9. The machine comes with a bulky 65W USB-C charger, but I’ve tested it with a variety of more compact third-party USB-C chargers that hit the same 65W peak charging speed. IDG / Ryan Whitwam In the standard PCWorld battery rundown test, the Zenbook Duo trails other recently released laptops by an hour or more. It’s still a usable laptop for a full workday, but you won’t have as much buffer as some of the competition. That’s just in single-screen “laptop” mode. If you have both screens running, the battery life takes a predictable dive of a little more than one-third. It might be hard to get a full workday out of the Zenbook Duo in dual-screen mode, especially as the battery ages. This benchmark was run in the default 60Hz mode, so switching to 120Hz will also reduce its longevity. Asus Zenbook Duo: Conclusion The 2025 Asus Zenbook Duo is an undeniably cool laptop. It’s a fast machine with two gorgeous OLED displays. Along with the clever removable keyboard, this machine offers unparalleled multitasking capabilities on the go. And the Core Ultra 9 is more than fast enough to keep up. However, the battery life is just okay. Windows 11 is still not a very compelling touch OS, but Asus has included several features that improve matters somewhat. The on-screen keyboard is better than the default Windows version, and the customizable control panels are useful. I also appreciate that the Zenbook Duo comes with a stylus, even if handwriting input is hit and miss. For people who want all this dual-screen power, they won’t be disappointed. However, the Zenbook Duo is a bit heavier and thicker than competing laptops. The price, while reasonable for a machine with two 1800p OLEDs, is still objectively a lot of money for a laptop. There are machines that are just as good at being a laptop while also offering a thinner, lighter frame and a lower price. So, you should only pick up the Zenbook Duo if you intend to unleash the dual-screen power. Read...

At a glanceExpert`s Rating Pros Great keyboard Respectable battery life Strong build Cons Chunky bezels take up a lot of screen real estate Blah design Only one charging port Our Verdict The Acer Chromebook Spin 315 delivers reliable day-to-day performance as well as a comfortable typing experience, but there are a few things holding it back. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today For a day-to-day machine, the Acer Chromebook Spin 312 does a lot of things right. It chews through daily web applications and lighter workloads, the display produces crisp-looking images, and the keyboard is comfortable to type on and the keys have a nice clicking sound to them. But is it enough to justify the full retail price of $449, a higher price than most Chromebooks? Keep reading to find out more. Acer Chromebook Spin 312: Specs The Acer Chromebook Spin 312 appears to have just one configuration, which comes with an Intel Core i3-N305 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of flash storage. The specifications are the same as the ones seen in the Chromebook Plus models–a curious thing as to why the word “Plus” was dropped from the Spin’s name. I’ve reached out to Acer to ask if this was intentional. Model number: CP312-1HN CPU: Intel Core i3-N305 Memory: 8GB Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics Display: 12.2-inch 1920×1200 touch enabled, 60Hz Storage: 128GB eMMC Webcam: 1080p, physical privacy shutter Connectivity: USB Type-C, USB Type-A, HDMI 1.4, 3.5  mm headphone/speaker Battery capacity: 50 watt-hour Dimensions: 11.41 x 8.07 x 0.78 Weight: 2.84 lbs MSRP: $449 Acer Chromebook Spin 312: Design, build quality IDG / Ashley Biancuzzo As far as design goes, the Acer Chromebook Spin 312 doesn’t stand out in any meaningful way–it’s just a light gray rectangle. The only splash of color is the Chromebook logo at the top left hand corner on the lid. That’s not a bad thing, especially if the subtle design is your cup of tea, but it’s definitely not a head-turner. Still, it’s meant to be affordable and functional, so a snazzy design isn’t necessarily expected here.  The Acer Chromebook Spin 312 is a solid laptop, full stop. The keyboard is easy to type on, the build feels rugged (despite it being all plastic), and, on a performance level, it breezes through day-to-day tasks. The build quality is surprisingly good for an all-plastic machine. The hinge feels strong and firm, and there isn’t much flex around the display area. The keyboard deck is especially strong, I couldn’t get it to bow even when pressing down with both hands. I wasn’t able to open the lid with a single finger, though–a crumb-sized nitpick coming from me. The laptop also feels equally strong and firm in tent mode. I was a little taken aback by the weight of the Acer Chromebook Spin 312, especially upon first handling. It’s not the heaviest laptop I’ve ever used, as it weighs just 2.84 pounds, but I expected it to be lighter than it was. It’s not going to break your back or anything, but you can really feel the weight of it in your hands.  Acer Chromebook Spin 312: Keyboard, touchpad IDG / Ashley Biancuzzo I adapted to the keyboard straight away, which surprised me because I consider myself a clumsy typist. The second my fingertips touched the keys, I was typing away at my usual speed with minimal typos. This is likely because it’s a smaller laptop with a smaller keyboard–the keys aren’t too spaced out, either. It’s just better suited for smaller hands, which I conveniently own. The keys themselves also have a nice clicking sound to them. The touchpad is equally easy to use, I was able to click and swipe to my heart’s content. It’s not a haptic touchpad, which uses miniscule vibrations to simulate the feeling of a click, but that’s totally fine. Personally, I prefer a touchpad that sits parallel with the display (aka center aligned) and that’s exactly where it is on the Acer Chromebook Spin 312. It’s a smaller touchpad but that makes sense because it’s a smaller laptop (the display measures just 12.2-inches). If you’ve got bigger hands, the touchpad might feel a bit cramped.  One cool thing about the touchpad is that it contains ocean-bound plastic (otherwise known as OceanGlass tech), which makes the surface of the touchpad feel as smooth as glass. Not only does it feel great on my fingertips, but it’s also more sustainable. I’ve become more invested in the sustainable laptop movement as of late, so I’m pleased with Acer’s choice to make this machine more environmentally friendly.  Acer Chromebook Spin 312: Display, webcam, speakers IDG / Ashley Biancuzzo The 1920×1200 display is sharper than I expected (yay for more vertical pixels!). When I was watching a streamer play the new Civilization VII game, the viewing experience was comfortable and smaller details like city spires and temples looked crisp. My only issue is that the display isn’t that bright, which isn’t surprising given the affordable price of this machine. Not official data on the nit level, but to my naked eye it looks about 250 nits. That said, it’s not a bad display–I just expected slightly better for a MSRP of $449.  I should also mention that it’s a touchscreen, though it doesn’t come with a stylus. I found that it registered my swipes and taps without fuss. This is a pretty common feature now on 2-in-1 laptops (like the Acer Chromebook Spin 312!), but there’s something nice (and kind of luxurious) about being able to navigate the content on your screen with a single finger. It’s a good touch (literally!). What I like best about this display is its taller 16:10 aspect ratio. The taller screen makes it easier to scroll through documents, navigate spreadsheets, and so on. I’ve always got PCWorld’s homepage open and I find it’s much easier to scroll through all of the newly published stories on a taller screen. The bezels are thick and do take up a lot of the screen, which bugs me. I know it’s an affordable Chromebook and not a souped-up content creation laptop with 4K resolution, but I expected a bit more screen, especially as measures a small 12.2-inches. The webcam is usable, but nothing special. The 1080p resolution is what I’ve come to expect from most laptops now no matter the price or form factor. I look fine on the webcam camera, but it’s nothing miraculous. It’s about as good as you can get for a Zoom meeting, but I was surprised by how well the webcam handled natural light. The Acer Chromebook Spin 312 has both downward firing and side firing speakers. If it weren’t for the side firing ones, the audio would probably sound more muffled, as downward firing ones yell into whatever surface they’re on. I tend to crank up the volume when I watch videos on laptops, especially if I’m watching something in the kitchen with my husband. With that context in mind, the speakers were loud enough to fill a medium(ish)-sized kitchen/dining room area.    Acer Chromebook Spin 312: Connectivity IDG / Ashley Biancuzzo The connectivity selection on the Acer Chromebook Spin 312 will satisfy most people. You’re getting one USB Type-C, two USB Type-A, one HDMI 1.4, and one 3.5mm headphone/speaker. That’s pretty run-of-the mill as far as ports go, yeah?  But I’m frustrated that only one side supports charging (via USB Type-C), and I know I’m not the only one that feels that way about laptops in general.. This makes it annoying to use the cable, as you can only use it one way really. It’s not a huge gripe of mine, but it’s there and it’s hard for me to forget that it’s there. Other folks may not be as bothered.  Acer Chromebook Spin 312: Performance The Acer Chromebook Spin 312 handles lighter workloads just fine. I was able to jump from tab to tab with no noticeable lag and bootup times were pretty fast. Performance-wise (in terms of numbers), it sits squarely between the Lenovo Chromebook Duet ($359) and the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus ($699.99). It scored better than the Lenovo Chromebook Duet, which features a MediaTek Kompanio 838 processor, but it fell behind the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus, which features a more powerful Intel Core 3 100U processor. CrXPRT 2: 140 Speedometer 2.0: 201 Basemark Web 3.0: 757.51 Kraken: 710.9ms Jetstream 2: 206.055 The Intel Core i3-N305 processor inside of the Acer Chromebook Spin 312 is fine for light tasks, but it will likely struggle with heavier workloads. It has eight efficiency cores and can boost up to 3.8 GHz. It’s designed with energy-efficient performance in mind, so that might explain why it has better battery life than the more expensive Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus. Acer Chromebook Spin 312: Battery life The Acer Chromebook Spin 312 ran for almost 14 hours during our standard battery test, which continuously loops videos and various tasks until the laptop runs out of juice. That’s a respectable result. In fact, it outpaced the more expensive Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus ($699.99), which lasted about 12 hours on a single charge. With the Chromebook Spin 312, you don’t have to go hunting for an outlet.  Acer Chromebook Spin 312: Conclusion The Acer Chromebook Spin 312 is a solid laptop, full stop. The keyboard is easy to type on, the build feels rugged (despite it being all plastic), and, on a performance level, it breezes through day-to-day tasks. That said, the display could be brighter and the chunky bezels take up a good amount of real estate. In addition to the single charging port, the aesthetic isn’t that exciting either. So, the question remains. Is it worth buying? If it’s on sale, then sure. The chunky bezels on the display, the single charging port, and the blah design are enough to give me pause at its full $449 MSRP. Fortunately, as of this writing, the Acer Chromebook Spin 312 is currently on sale for $379 at Amazon. That’s a more reasonable price for a solid Chromebook like this.
